Fieldnet

Fieldnet—connecting field researchers and sharing knowledge

About Fieldnet

We are a network of scholars who frequently conduct field research abroad. Our aim is to promote field research by creating fellowship through online and offline activities. We are based in the Field Science Research Center (FSC) at the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa (ILCAA), Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS). Through Fieldnet, you can obtain much useful information about fieldwork abroad and the technicalities involved, for example, the research permit, means of collecting data from the colonial era, counterpart and co-researchers, and resource persons. Further, you can interact with scholars from various fields, which will provide you with new ideas and a multidisciplinary perspective in your own research. Thus, you can organize new research groups and become active in pioneering fields in order to resolve academic and social problems. Why don’t you join us?
